siderable wranglmg between the captains
of the TWO clubs. Hardle, of the Chicagos,

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Notwithstandin
the fact that this was the opening day of
the National Jockey club races, more than
,, 900 people passed through the turnStileS
at Capitol park to-day and saw the home
club simply annihiate their opponents, the
New GOrkerS. The Gothamites had young
Mattimore in the box. and besides being
wild he was batted at will by the home
club, who earned nine runs. Whitney, on
the other hand. was altogether too much
for the visitors, who succeeded in making
only nine hits, which. save in the sixth and
ninth innings, were badly scattered. The
fielding of Donnelly, Farrell and Ward
were the features. Score:
Washington. ....2 3 Ola
New York. ... % 0 o 0 0 /
PrrTsBURG, May 3.-The Detroits got
back at the Pittsburgs to-day, and won the
game by heavy batting at Opporlune times,
daring base running and sharp fielding.
Morris pitched his first championship game
of the season. His work was not encour-
aging, and indicated that he has lost much
OF his effectiveness under the new rules.
He was hit hard throughout the game, and
hit White twice, giving him his base.
Getzein pitched good game until the last
couple Of innings, when he eased up little,
and the home club earned four runs. The
playing Of Kuehne for the home nine in
center field, in place of Brown, caused
weakness at that point. He made two bad
errors at critical times. The catching of
Briody, the fielding of Dunlap and long
running catch by Manning were the features
OF the game. Score:
Pittsburg ...... 0 0 0 l 1 g.
Detroit. ........ 5 % / o IA
PHILADELPHIA, May 3.-Boston again
defeated Philadelphia to-day by better
work in every department. Daily, who
pitched for the home team, was uncertain
in his delivery, sending six men to first on
balls, and making three wild pitches
Radbourne pitched in splendid form for the
visitors, and was admirably backed. a
tumble by Nash and a passed ball being
the only errors. Andrews was injured in
the fourth inning and had to retire, Fer
guson taking his place at second. Score:
Philadelphia .....2 0 0 0 0 l 0 0-3
